An American Girl In Canada...Part Deux

The Fisherbabe and The Fisherhubby
Glacier National Park
Ok...well not Canada but it was on our way to Canada so that counts!!! I got to visit Glacier National Park in Montana, and it was a blast. We mainly just drove through on our way up to Edmonton, but the sites were so beautiful that it was worth the extra hour it took to get there!!!!
I saw the carved out areas where glaciers USED to be...and it was awe inspiring and sad at the same time.
I really love the scenic drives that come along with our trips up north. The scenery is always amazing. The little ponds and lakes on the sides of the roads always make me just throw my collapsible in the trunk and hit the road.
There were so many lovely waterfalls to be seen in Glacier National Park. They took a little walking to get to, but the beauty was worth the hike. This one is one that I did not get to, but my husband took my camera along on his hike and shot it for me. Isn't it lovely?
We hiked along the riverbed to get to this little falls, and all I thought about the whole time was "I really hope a bear doesn't get me..."!!! LOL :)
I am always worried about bears in Canada....even though I have never actually seen a bear in Canada. But it doesn't hurt to be on the look out.
As we were leaving the park and heading down the road towards the Monster Fish, we stopped and looked back at the beautiful sunset behind us. I am so glad we did!!!!
This was one of the most fantastic scenes I have ever witnessed. The pink sky and silouette of the mountains made for a majestic site.
Kinda makes a person feel small...
If you ever get the chance to visit this beautiful National Park, I suggest doing so!!! On a more serious note, however, I suggest you go very soon. The Glaciers are receding so fast that I am very afraid that they will just be tales to tell my grandchildren.
Stayed tuned...tomorrow the post is all about fish porn. Oh yeah...I said fish porn!!!
Happy Evening ~

  1. Great pictures and post, Lizzie. It really is better when there is something to stop and see along the way to a fishing trip. When it's something as spectacular as Glacier N.P., it's pretty special.

    (You have qualify your enthusiasm for the mountains, though. When you live where you live, everything bigger than a sandhill is exciting!) I'm the same way, though - the boring terrain of Illinois drives me crazy.

    Keep 'em coming
